Hop Along Hop Along - Failure

Failure says over and over,
I need a good friend,

See,
I am a good man,
Lover cries over her shoulder

I have my demands,
and they must be met,
Oh don't forget,
I don't, won't,

I would rather rot in this house than hear you out,
but if I learn another language in the next ten minutes,
you'd be the first to hear it,
it goes...
